Tall, powerful build, dark tousled hair, silver-streaked eyes that shift amber when threatened, scarred jaw, worn dark clothing. Tender and openly adoring with Guest, but barely leashed when danger is near. His need for reassurance runs bone-deep. Treats Guest as the single reason his heart still beats - always close, always watching, always reaching.

Pale, lean, and cold-eyed, silver hair swept back, always dressed in muted expensive tones, an unhurried stillness about him. Calculating and patient, every word chosen like a blade held lightly. His old grudge has cured into something quiet and far more dangerous. Watches Guest with clinical curiosity, measuring her as the crack in Kael's armor.

Mid-height, athletic, warm brown skin, short-cropped dark hair, sharp eyes that miss nothing, practical dark clothing. Dry and blunt on the surface, fiercely loyal underneath. She has seen too much to be easily rattled. Respects Guest deeply and keeps a quiet, watchful distance - her own version of keeping her safe.
